Proven how?
Do you have track numbers compared to the trex? dyno numbers?
I realize everyone on this forum nut swings from whatever vendor is awesome this week.
There hasn't been many posts about the larger EPS cams.
You statement should have had more to do with overall drive ability and less to do with making "the most"

I would think the " RapTR" would be a slightly more streetable cam, but regardless I'd still lean towards a EPS cam.

when i was deciding on my cam i knew what i wanted a track car but something i could also take out on the weekends for a cruise. everyone talks up these EPS cams and yeah i see they can make some good dyno numbers but im all about track performance and is why i went with the long time proven trex! I want to see a cam only eps cammed car try to hang with a trex cam only car. I vote trex for sure

i voted raptr. only becuase it is newer with more advanced lobes.
WARNING
the 440rwhp was from a build that was done with ALL the supporting mods. Not just an exhaust. When you do this swap be sure to have ALL SUPPORTING MODS!!! or either cam will fall on it's face.

your missing the entire package of the car. The RPMs required to get that car moving off the line with that cam will require quite a bit in the drivetrain. I only mention this since you were hoping for good track times, youll probably be a lil disapointed at the track.

OP, you said you don't want to spend money on heads, I hope you know you're gonna have to drop some coin to get a cam that big tuned properly...
Just saying, this is an unfortunantly all-too-common state of mind among LS1 owners... they don't want to spend the money on heads, supporting mods, or do the research on different cams, so they buy the biggest cam they can find to throw in, get a half-assed tune, don't get the necessary supporting mods and then wonder why they're still running 12s alongside full bolt-on cars...
